After further denouncing the course pursued by Van Buren, and warmly copdemning his ingratitude to the democratic party he also passed a severe commentary on Benja- win F Butier’s desertion from the democratic which be attributed to the “preachings at Sundy Hill" Mr. D. next denounced the mock philanthro- py of this pew party on the subject of the extonsion of slavery, which he contended merely embraced the westion of transfer, not extension; and, therefore, the whole theory of these mem was # fallacy.

(Three cheers were then given for the epeaker. and about one-half of the meagre audience adjourned ) WasnincronCrank, eq , nextaddressed the meeting, in which he considered it unnecessary to go over the ground which had been so ably discussed. He said the principal thing with which I shall occupy your at- tention for a few minutes will be relative to the Wil- mot provio, It is i»possible to pass a law to prevent slavery in the territories, for if a man chooses to take his slaves into those territories, and that slave is willing to remain with his master, all the laws that eould be passed would not affect the case at all. General Cass says that Congress bas no right to pass a law to prohi- bit slavery in the territories, for they, when they be- come States. have alone the right, and that law is posi- tive, aud without that positive law, it is of no use for Congress to legislate upon the subject. He says, if elected. he will veto a bill to hidit slavery in the territories, and will do that because ho does not ac- knowled e the right. Micharrt Wats, Esq., was ealled for and rose,when the house rerounded with applause. He made a brief address, during which he treated of the general tion of the party—the Buffalo convention, merits of General Taylor. He descanted Le a the movements of those in the city who hold offices under the general government, and doubted the since- rity of Mr. Polk to the cause of Gen.

The place from which J write, is the centre of this old, | productive, and intelligent county ; it is, consequent- | ly, the best position for observing and ascertaining all | the popular movements, upon every question that is egitating the times. Our moral standing has been slightly damaged, and the respect entertained for us, asa quiet and orderly people, somewhat lessened. recently, in consequence ¢f three most atrocious murders having been committed in our immediate vicinity, during the past year; for which crime one was sent to State prison for 14 years, one was hung in our county jail, and the last, whose case is considered the worst and most aggravated one, | is in prison, awaiting hie trial; and it is generally | thougkt his chances fur escape are very slight. notwith- standing he bas engnged the ablest counsel in the State to defend bim, With these unfortunate exceptions, we fancy we wiil compare favorably with any county inthe State.

But every few days we bave a match, which, from the central position | we occupy, and its easy access from all parts of the county, calls; together a large number of persons, (mostly young men.) to the chagrin and strenuous op- eads.

Our sporting propensities may perbaps be more culti- vated. on account of the Jack of ~ stated preaching” in our midst ; for this section of the county is mostly in- hubited by members of the Society of Friends, or Qua- kers, us they are usually called—a class of people pro- yerbially moral and hoaest. We havo two « meeting houses ;* one of tho * Hicksite,” and the other of the “Orthodox”? persuasion of Quakers. at the former of which the word is dispensed “ without money and with- out price,” whenever the “spirit moves,” by either Edward Hull or Eleaser Haviland ; the former being a truly able and eloquent man, while the latter, though not pretending to the same ability, is a worthy and ea- timable citizen. The orthodox are favored with @ greater number of “ speakers,” the acknowledge: of which is Irané Thorn, or * Uncle Isaac,” as he is f miliarly called by beth young and oid. And he is a man of most steiling worth, with a vigorous intellect, and is an able epeaker. His son, John Thorn, also speaks occasionally, and bids fair to be a ‘ chip of the old block.” He has but to follow in the footsteps of his illurtrious father, to be honored and respected by all. There are also two or three others, whom it is not necessary to name, as they are not very shining lights. The celebrated Nine Partners Quaker boarding school is located in the immediate vicinity of the two mecting houres, and is under the control of the ortio- dox branch of Friends. although patronised by both sections, It is at this school thatthe sons and daugh- ters of many of your most aristocratic Qauker families, in New York—such as Alley, Pearsall, Leggett, Thorn, Fox. Corlies, Macy. Day. and others, equally wealthy and rerpected— receive their education. They do not confine their scholars exclusively to Quakers; the | orld’s people’ are admitted, by their adopting the plain dress and language, and otherwise conforming to the rules and regulations. And very many ure sent here ; some parents, who have wild and unruly sons, prefer sending them here to undergo a cours of disci- pline, rather than undertake the task themselves—and all such sre soon brought up with a “round turn,’ ‘The President of this Quaker college.or Superintendent, as they term him here, is Jarvis Congdon, a man above reproach. and admirably fitted for his office ; while his wife, Lydia, preeides over the female department; and were | to repeat the complimentary things ssid of her, by every young lady that has ever been at the school, I fear I +hould make her vain, in spite of all her good renreand modesty. 1 believe the wide world might bo searched in vain, for her superior, in point of fitness, in every reepect. for the station which she occupies, Politically, we are in a pretty bad fix, for professed politicians generally; and the question of, “Where am [to ge?’ is daily asked, and not easily answered. ‘The Quakers, who have. hitherto, invariably acted with the whigs, now. in accordance with their settled hos- i ery, war, and military chieftains, unani- udiate General Taylor~which makes a large Vecuum in the whig ranks.

Y. State volunteers, and the Mexican forces under command of Manuel Pineda, and an which the latter party came off so decidedly second best. Since that time, u brilliant litle affair has oceurred, which certainly deserves recording in the impenshable columns of the Herald, for the benefit of the New York boys, who have so well sustained the credit of the State they represent, away out here, so fur trom the “ white settlements.” . nin In order to an understanding of the matter, it is necessary to premise a little. A toree of about thirty men, under command of Lieut. Heywood, of the navy, being stationed at St. Jose, (Cape St, Lueas,) 4 party, consisting of two officers and six men, were sent, on the 4th of February, to 4 landing place about ten miles from the Cuartel, for the purpose of receiving some stores. They had scarcely reached the spot, when they found themselves surrounded by two hundred weil armed and mounted Caiitornians, and were, of course, obliged to surrender, They were im- mediately conveyed to San Antonio, in the centre of the country, ‘the headquarters of the enemy. The officers’ names were Duncan and Warley, both passed midshipmen, belonging to the Con- gress. Arnived at San Antomy, they were placed on parole, tolerably well treated, and had a pros- pect of a long stay with their amiable triends. The main body of the enemy having given up the attempt at taking La Paz, were in the vicinity of St. Jose; and at times there was a guard of but ten men at San Antonio. The prisoners, as often as opportunities occurred, addressed several let- ters to the commanding officer at La Paz, request- img him to send a force to rescue them. This, for some reason he did not do; and it was tor some time doubtful whether any thing would be done. On the 15th of this month, however, another letter came in, and its contents soon became known among the whole detachment. Now you are probably aware that a very large portion of what 1s called military discipline” and * regu- larity” does not exist among volunteers mm gene- ral; ‘and as the event will show particularly with us. Two or three of the men having failed in the attempt to prevail upon Col. Burton to send out a party, took the matter into their own hands, raised thiny.men. pledged to go to San Antonio and res- cue the prisoners at all hazards. This tact was com- municated to the Col., and he was again requested to put an officer at the head of them, being fully assured that if he did nov they would go without one. The Col. was finally prevailed on 10 lega- ze the enterprise, and placed as jt= commanding officer Capt. Seymour G. Steeie, of Company A. Horses and saddles haying been procured, the party, conmsting of 27 non-commissioned of- ficers and privates, and three officers (Surgeon | Alexander Perry, Acting Lieutenent Scott, of Company B, and Capt. Steele), left La Paz on the night ‘of the 15th of March, between 9 and 10 o’clock. The road to San Antonio, a distance of about 60 miles, 18 through a miserable, rocky coun- try} but unaccustomed as our men were to riding, they found themselves on the top of the mountain overlooking San Antonio, at davlight on the fol- lowing morning. Here a picket guard, consisting of one man, was found, and he bemg snugly en- sconced in the arms of Morpheus, was taken pri- | soner. Our party being entirely unobserved by the enemy, they descended the hill and passed up an arroyo, which led directly into the town. As they neured the end, under cover of a bank, the force was arrayed, and, with a loud hurrah, charged into the town at full speed. It was a per- fect surprise. Our prisoners, reeiving their friends had arrived at last, immediately joined our party, while two Mexican officers, who were pro- ceeding trom their barracks across the square to the cuartel occupied by the soldiers, were also captured. Pineda, the commanding officer, made good his escape, by jumping out the back window in his drawers and night shirt. In the mean time the enemy’s force to the number ot between forty and filty, had succeeded in forming front of their barracks, and a brisk fire of musket- ry was opened from them. Our men were ordered to dismount, and rally under cover of the church. Here they were again formed, and, with another hurrah and a “charge bayonet,” rushed on the enemy, Who ran in all directions to the adjacent hills, wath the loss of three of their number killed, and seven or eight wounded. In this charge, we lost ene man, Lieut. Thos. Hipwood, of B Co.. with two others, charged upon a building in i were fifteen soldiers; Hipwood receiving | three balls in his breast, and dying immediately. Te rout of the enemy being complete, the arms ees had abandoned (some thirty in number), their bullet-moulds, trumpet, &e., were destroyed im the Plaza, their flag taken, their public papers secured; and, there being no more work to do, the party left Sen Antonio to return to La Paz. When abont half the distance on the road, our party was ambuscaded in a narrow mountain pasa, which five good men could have defended against a hundred. Ny order was weeded for the on to dismount, but, springing out of their saddles, a volley and a charge, and the cowardly rascals had fled.” The only person injured ia thé ambuseade was one of the captive’ officers, Capt. Manuel Calderon, who was shot in the breast by Sergt. Denniston, of 1} Co., and Private McDonongh, of A, ene of our own men. The party reached | La Paz about 2 o’clock in the morning, having performed the distance of 120 miles in 30 hours, on the same horses, and through the most_misesa- ble country that was probably ever manufactured. Words cannot express the gratitude of Messrs. Dunean and Warley, to our brave volunteers, for their rescue’; and the whole movement is looked upon as one of the finest litle affairs that has oe- curred in California. |, | ,, Dhe day alter the affair, the ship Isabella, Capt. | Briggs, which left Philadelphia in September last, with some recruits for our regiment, arri | in La Paz, with a hundred recruits and D Co., Capt, glee 3 and the whole force was to march out, inatew days, to disperse the remainder of the enemy, and propably ere this all is quiet.

Tue AFFRAY at THE NiaGaRa.—A_ correspon- dent. ot the, Boston Evening Transcript writes from Niagara Fells concerning the late difficulty there, as follows:—‘ Tho engineer of the wire suspension bridge. Mr, Ellet, has been reaping a rich harvest in tolls, which have flowed into his pocket by hundreds cfdollurs per day till to-day, when stop was put to his receipts. The origin of the difficulty is this: --Mr. Ellet’s contract was that the work should be com- Re bya given day, which has not yet transpired. « work being completed, he takes the bridge to him. self, ertablisbes a toll of 25 cents each way, and pock- ete the money. The Canadians, seeing the rich profits he #6 reaping, refured to-day to allow any one to enter Canada over it, and have erected a barricade on the Srentier, that 3s 250 feet over the Niagara river, io the middle of the bridge, This soon led to an elarm- ing state of excitement.

The ness of the bridge will probably be suspended for « teoson. ‘The mutter indispute will probably lead to suit at law low it will bo decided, it is impossibl to conjecture. ‘Through the influence of from Buffalo, who was well acquainted withthe Cana- dian belligerents, our party was allowed to pass over about bell an hour after the battle, and they so fer re- woyed the barricade as to enable us to climb over it, wich was a favor devied to many who had intended to mnke the p senge through to-day, The bridge is a piand and elegant structure, and | have passed o it without the least fear, baving perfect co: noe its stability and great strength, But to fight « batt at suc ii le # tearful height, and, in such # piace, is fright- ful in the extreme, and chilis one’s blood, But what will man not do in this nineteenth century?

New York Electoral Vote—Gen. B. Ruey—General Shields, §e. The bump of hope on the head of the venerable | editor ot the &nzon is so large now that he cannot easily get his hat on. He says that the democracy can elect Cass without the vote of New York ; but, wotwithstanding, they can carry the State agaimet Taylor and Van Buren, if they will only try. Without expressing a preference} for either of the candidates, we cannot incline to Mr. Rit- chie’s opinion, because he is pretty much like a child, pleased with the rattle of a few clap-clap re- solutions, garconades, or editonals trom the hupkers, Probably some of the sycophants who helped to kill Silas Wright have been here, spreading themeelves out, and boasting what they could do, un. | tii they have made an impression that New Yord can be bad merely by a determined effort. We refer to the present condition of the official editor's mind ; he | is electing Gon. Cass in advance, but he is not yet cer- | tain whether, in that event, he will be tho official organ. Somebody, who wanted to buy out a certain printing-office, will be the man, if there be reliance upon promises and rumors. ‘The Prerident baa treated General Bennett Riley rather shabbily. Riley !—every body knows the name, He is an old veteran, and Las been in service thirty- six years. He was breveted brigadier-general, only, for his gallant conductin Mexico, Not being a trick- ster, and having engaged no resident puffer to inter- hi cede for him“ at court,” he was overslaughed. Jt is | said men went into those battles his inferors, and came out his superiors in command. A few days fore Congress adjourned, upwards of forty Senators, on bearing how badly the general had been dealt with. immediately recommended to his Excellency the appointment of Riley as a major.general by brevet. ‘hey drew up and sigued their names to the paper, witbout distinction of party, but we havo not been able to bear that Mr. Polk deignea to comply with the wishes so generously expressed, He cannot think that Riley is not a good soldier and an honest man, unle: he bas Intely taken in an additional supply of selfish ness. The mere fact that Brevet Brig, Gen. Rilcy has been ordered to the command of California is proof to the pcint of his capacity. ‘We have noticed that some of the newspapers are asserting confidently that Gen. Shields will not accept | of the appointment as Governor of Oregon. This is | mere speculation, and in the absence of facts, It is true that the general wants to come to the U. S.

A melancholy accident occurred on the Camden and Amboy railroad yesterday afternoon, as the ono o’clock train froth New York was within three miles of Bordentown, William M. Broome, the conductor of the train, had mounted on the topof the cars to give some instructions to the brakesman, and was walking” towards the end ofa car to get down again, when his head and rhoulders came in contact with a bridge the train bad approached without his perceiving it, He ‘was thrown off the end of the car, and fell upon the platform below a bleeding corpse. ‘Two gentlemen nding there caught the body, or it would most like- ly have fallen upon the track.

Anti-Slavery Meetwng. As indicating the state of feeling e: ing among the free soil delegates to the Buffalo Convention, | forward the proceedings of a large and enthusiastic | meeting that came off this evening, in the Park, which has been temporarily fitted up with a mam- moth canvass pavilion, platform, and seats. The platform was crowded with delegates, from Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and other parts of the Union. The distinguishing feature of the proceedings was the appearance and address of a color- ed man, named Bibb, which clicited the utmost enthu- siasm from all partsof the meeting; und a very deter- mined spirit in favor of the general objeets of the con vention was manifested throughout. Mr. Sawrer, of Ohio, was called to the chair, which was carried by acclamation; and Mr. Bryan was ap- pointed to act as secretary. Hexuy Bran (colored) here came forward and ad- dressed the meeting in favor of freedom for man. (Ap- plause ) Man had aright to be born into this world, and he had aright to # free spot to stand upon, (Cheers) In the present state of things in these Uni- ted States, there were from one thousand to oue hun- | dred thourand persons that had been born on the soil, who had not # spot to stand upon, (Hear, he and cheers.) Yes, there were men who had no pl 8 | to call their home, and the government of the United States kad inflicted upou them that curse, and with- held from them thoee rights which God had given them. (Hear, hear.) There was now no place which they could get unless they paid for it; and he was in favor not only of free soil. but in favor of # free soul and body. (Tremendous cheering and applause, which lasted for a considerable time.) He had no should consider it au insult to him, if a man should come to him and talk to him about it, (applause,) while hehad not the privilege to hold it himself. There were thousands in such a condition, who were deati- tute in consequence ofthe conduct of the government of the United States, (hisses,) and who also sanctioned the curse of slavery. (Hieses.) America was now one of the greatest rlavebreeding spots upon the face of the earth. (Cries ofshame,) And the District of Colum- bia was one of the greatest slave manufacturing epots in the world, (renewed cries of shame) while the committes who met here to-night, are not only in fevor of free soil, but of free souls and bodies to every one. (Vociferous applause.) They had heard much talk about the nomination of candidates for the Pre- sidency. He hoped that no man would get the suffra- ges of the people, who was opposed to free soil, “(Cheer- ing.) He was himself a fugitive slave. (Sensation.) He was a fugitive from slavery, and had been prose- cuted for it, (cries of “shame.” and as far as the law was concerned, there was, at this moment, no less than. three millions of human beings in chains, in America, who also had not free souls or bodies; and. under auch such laws as existed, not one of them could lay claim to as much Jand as would cover the palm of his hand. (Cries of “Shame.”) He had been for twenty-five ears in bondage ; and, as he kad heard it was thein- ‘ention of the convention which was about to assemble to-morrow, to take into consideration the propriety of nominating Mr. McLean as a candidate for the Presi- dency, he hoped that, in doing so. they would not f get bis decision given in favor of the South. inthe case of the fugitive slave case, which lately came before him. (Hear, hear.) After dwelling upon the necessity of their taking this fact into consideration, he concluded, and was feliowed by Mr. Jarnagin, of Indiana. ( The meeting was subsequently addressed by Mr. Grover and others, and was not adjourned until a late heur, when all separated, ae? prepared for the pro- ceedings of the convention, which comes off to-mor- row. The city is crowded to excess with strangers, from all quarters, and beds are let out in some board- ing-houres at 9 premium. The hotels are jam full. BARITIME INTELLIGENCE SHIP NEWS NOTICE.
